🥔🌿 Cajun Smothered Green Beans & Potatoes (Meatless)

🍳 Method

  1. Make the Roux
    • In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat.
    • Add flour and stir constantly until golden brown (about 3–5 minutes). This forms the base of your pot liquor.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics
    • Add onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook until softened and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add Seasonings and Veggies
    • Stir in Cajun seasoning, thyme, and bay leaf.
    • Add potatoes and green beans. Toss to coat in the roux and spices.
  4. Simmer to Smother
    • Pour in vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
    • Cover and simmer for 30–40 minutes until potatoes are tender and green beans are soft but not mushy.
  5. Taste and Serve
    • Adjust salt and pepper.
    • Serve warm with cornbread, rice, or as a main dish with a side salad.
